Crossbow, Heavy

Load: Loading a heavy crossbow is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Note: You draw a heavy crossbow back by turning a
small winch. Normally, operating a heavy crossbow requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a heavy crossbow with one hand at a –4 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a heavy crossbow with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two one-handed weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
